i don't know of anything that currently does that, but it would be
totally sweet to have it! one could create something like a
kernel-image-2.4.x "task" that then selects the approprate package to
install based on that. just take something like
sed -ne 's/^model name.* //p' < /proc/cpuinfo
and cross reference it with a list of supported systems for each kernel.
